Hi, I’m Kate.

I created ConnectInUs to share what I wished I'd had: developmentally appropriate, family-friendly tools to help parents through the complicated conversations — all in service of raising grounded, connected, and joyful kids.

There are tools for all families. There are also tools for particular families with unique needs — families navigating through adoption, donor conception, LGBTQ+ family-building, divorce, and more.

Tools to help families have the conversations that matter — and raise connected, joyful kids.

CONNECTINUS · GROWINUS BOOKS

WHERE TO BEGIN

The Books We Needed

Adoption

For families navigating adoption — where your child's story is theirs to know, from the start.

Donor Conception

For families built using donor conception — where your child's origin is theirs to know, from the start.

LGBTQ+ Families

For LGBTQ+ families — so your family can be a given, not an explanation your child has to share.

Family Changes

For families finding a new shape — with love still at the center.

FAMILY VALUES

Name them.
Frame them.
Live them.

From a free quick start to a full guided experience — bring your family's values out of your head and into your home, in your child's words and yours.

MORE CONNECTINUS

Regulation, connection, and joy — daily-ish.
